The former Marine left California for New York while pregnant which is why she was denied custody of her child. She filed for temporary custody in NY three days after the baby’s birth, but Bode secretly filed for default custody in California. So, the judged ruled it “unjustifiable conduct” adding that the “appropriation of the child in-utero was irresponsible, irreprehensible” under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act.

The appeals court eventually moved the case back from Cali to Manhattan after Sara got support from women's rights groups.

Miz McKenna explained why she chose to leave California for New York while pregnant, and it sounds totally reasonable:

“I knew early in my pregnancy I couldn’t continue working as a firefighter and be a single mom, so I decided to finish my college degree. I chose Columbia University — in addition to being an incredible school, they have breastfeeding rooms on campus and family support networks. When I learned that I could adjust my classes depending on Sam’s needs, I was sold. I texted Bode in November to let him know my plans to move. He never responded.”

Point - Sara.

She also explained that when she told Bode about the baby, she said she planned to raise him on her own, if Bode didn’t want to. He had no response for her.

On September 4th though, a judge made Sara give Sam/Nathaniel to Bode.

Sara also wrote about Bode and Morgan sending her pics of her son while he was gone, and says that she’d keep checking social media for more, but never mentions why she didn’t send the father any pics when she was the one with their son.

On November 25th, she got her baby back, after dropping out of college and then re-enrolling. She added:

“I focused on finding any custody case that could help me get Sam back. I was going to keep fighting. There were countless nights that I was up until 3 a.m. researching cases, and I’ve decided to pursue a degree in law to help anyone else who might experience this in the future… My hope is that Bode and I can work together to finally give Sam a stable life. That’s all I want for our son.”

It’s always good to hear both sides to a story, and it’s just going to have to play out in court.

No matter what happens though, it’s very clear that Sara has become much stronger from this hardship. Maybe time will help heal the situation.

Waves of high school students across the country marched out of class on Wednesday to demand stricter gun laws in hopes of putting an end to school massacres once and for all.

This unprecedented National Walkout Day, which kicked off at 10 a.m. EST and will continue across the states at 10 a.m. local time, was sparked by the Parkland, Florida school shooting and fueled by the fire and fury of its articulate survivors.

The protest was initially supposed to be 17 minutes of silence -- one minute for each of the victims gunned down in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Valentine's Day massacre -- but students are opting to stay out of class for much longer to rally for change.

These teens are so undeterred, even the threat of being suspended won't stop them from hitting the pavement to call on Congress to pass stricter, "common sense" gun control laws.
